A Vintage Twist at Morrells – Kate and Graham

This was truly a wedding with a fabulous vintage twist at Morrells Boutique Wedding Venue.

Kate and Graham were married in front of their friends and family in true French vintage style from Kate’s wedding dress right through to the decor.  This fun loving couple, which you will see by the photographs, reflected their personalities and amazing relationship which they share.  From the engagement shoot we could tell that were were going to be in for a treat on their wedding day.  We couldn’t help but well up inside and yet smile at the same time as they shared their vows.

The magnificent decor and wedding detail was co-ordinated by Morrells, and what a superb job they did.  There was even a ‘candy store’ donning candy floss, sherbet, nougat and many other decadent sweets decorating this store.  The cake was even a profiterole affair topped with sugar detail.

Enjoy the photos below which tell a story of amazing elements from their day.

Congratulations Kate and Graham on your brilliant wedding, it was an affair to remember.  And hope that you had the best honeymoon in the world as you travel far and wide.

I assisted the ever fabulous Stella Sassen with this wedding and to her I’m eternally grateful for the brilliant opportunity!!!

Bumper Blog for 2012, Tanya & Dennis at Red Ivory Lodge

I was priviledged enough to be working with one of my fave South African photographers, Hannes Uys.

Hannes and I work very well together and really enjoy each other’s company.  I worked with him on some of his greatest weddings in 2011 and this was one of those weddings we couldn’t wait to sink our teeth in to and deliver a fabulous set of images for this gorgeous couple, Tanya & Dennis, at the ever fabulous Red Ivory Lodge Hartbeespoort, Magaliesberg.

The detail thought about coupled with the excitement from this couple promised to deliver grace and elegance for the day from Tanya’s wedding dress through to the table decor.  A magical couple tying the knot in front of their stunning friends and family during an emotional ceremony.

Congratulations Tanya & Dennis on your fantastic wedding!  Thanks for allowing us to share it with you and a huge thanks to that awesome onion marmelade!  A real treat!

New Year…New beginnings

This is the first post for 2012 and I’m very excited to announce a whole new website.  I have been wanting to do this for so long and not had the opportunity until now.  Thanks to help from a number of people, and you know who you are, I am now live with my new look.

I’ll be posting shortly highlights from a couple of weddings from last year.  Watch this space!

Lephalale, Limpopo post Christmas family holiday

Well, this is the first blog post for 2012 and it’s a collection of photographs from our family holiday.  We decided to spend 5 days in the beautiful South African province of Limpopo.  This is a unique kind of terrain which is rich in game reserves both state and private.

This is the kind of lifestyle that I’m so proud to call mine and emphasizes the reasons why we came back from the UK to South Africa not long ago.  This lifestyle one can’t buy anywhere, one rich in educating the senses.

Enjoy looking at the collection below as I’ve enjoyed editing them artistically to enhance the interpretation as it means for me.

Impromtu Rendevous & Painting with light at Northcliff Water Tower

Well, it’s coming to that time of the year when everything is wrapping up for the year workwise.  However, a spur of the moment catchup between colleagues and friends of the Joburg Photowalkers, decided it was a great time to meet on ‘the Hill’.

The views were stunning and much laughter had by us all!  Meeting old friends and new!  Here are a few of my pics from the evening, please have a look at so many more as the ‘Walkers’, have a fantastic collection of interpretations and creativity.

Enjoy!  Happy Christmas to all my fellow ‘Walkers’!
